Our Animals

The girls were surrendered to us because they kept eating their way out of their plastic cage

Fluffy is well known to her finder, who has been looking after her and trimming her beak regularly since it's prone to over-growing. Recently she developed an infected eye so she's come to us for treatment.

Ariana got lost on a race and was unfortunately found by two cats who inflicted some nasty wounds on her. She was also very thin when she came to us so had been struggling to cope.

Emmett was found on a balcony in Fulham, obviously unwell.

Velvet was seen in a park with a large growth on her shoulder

The girls were very much loved but unfortunately the landlord objected to their presence in their original home.

Andi is a syrian hamster who was found outside as a stray. We suspect she was dumped due to be rather demanding!

Sherbert fell out of her nest under a railway bridge

Harry & Meghan were born on a balcony but were not welcome and the householder tried to kill them

The babies had been born in an unsuitable location in Sydenham and were going to be removed by pest controllers so we stepped in to make sure they were safe

The eggs had been laid in an unsuitable location in Kingston and were going to be removed by pest controllers so we stepped in to make sure they were safe

Caspar showed up in the garden of some kind bird lovers and even tried to wander into their house. Unfortunately he wasn't wearing any rings so we can't trace his owners.

Prince was spotted in a park struggling to walk

Poppet was up for sale on gumtree along with a barbary dove. Pompei was also for sale online - she had been living with other diamond doves but they had paired up and she was left single.

Blossom was spotted in the garden of one of our regular pigeon finders looking very unwell

Tai was originally picked up and cared for by one of our volunteers. She nursed him through PMV and then passed him to us for permanent sanctuary.

Kevin was found as a baby on the street and cared for by his finder for a few months. He was living with their chickens but, as he reached maturity, he fell out with the cockerals!

We were asked to help Noah because his person's neighbours objected to her aviary. He was very much loved and had a great life before arriving here. Nelly was advertised on gumtree and was living in a small cage with a diamond dove. We wanted company for Noah so we offered to take them in.

Coral was found in Horsham with a head wound

Zeus was found abandoned in woodland

Jessie was amongst a group of birds who were trapped in an abandoned building. Most could be released immediately but we noticed that Jessie had string wrapped round her feet.

Noelle was seen huddled up on the track at a railway station.

Maddie came to us because her owner was emigrating and her cagemate had passed away

Gonzo originally came to us in March 2019 when she fledged and got caught up in some bad weather. We treated her for coccidiosis and released her in May. She had been doing well and visiting the release site regularly but was seen looking unwell in August.

The girls were handed in to us when their owner could no longer care for them

Summer was found in Putney walking in circles

Aristotle was a regular visitor to his finder's garden. They noticed he wasn't able to fly and asked us to help.

Terri had a run of terrible luck. She got a spring caught round her leg. That attracted some string. Then she got caught by the spring and string on some netting. She was hanging upside down by her tangled leg for many hours.

Antoine was found with a broken leg. Unfortunately, by the time he came to us, his leg had died and fallen off.

Perky originally came to us in January, struggling with parasites after fledging. She was released in April and had been doing well until she was seen in August looking unwell.

A box of baby mice was abandoned on a shelf in a local pet shop! Of course, as a result we have no history but given the way they were dumped and their colouring, the assumption is that they are either wild mice or semi-wild. Possibly a wild mouse got in with a pet mouse and they were the result. Our friends at Gerbil and Rodent Rescue in Selhurst took the whole family in but struggled to find homes for them so we offered a sanctuary space to a group.

Reggie had been hanging around her finders garden for a few weeks before bad weather finally rendered her unable to fly. There was originally another bird with her but that one disappeared. Although she was wearing a ring, part of the ID number had been melted off to prevent her owner being traced so it looks likely that the birds were deliberately abandoned.

Henry was spotted living in the wild, captured in a humane trap and taken to our vet who asked us to take him in. We're not sure if Henry is an unusually coloured wild rat or is a fancy rat born in the wild but he behaves like a wild rather than a pet rat.

Meg was a regular visitor to the garden of one of our supporters and they found her unable to fly

Forrest was hand-reared by another rescuer who noticed something odd about his behaviour

Bill was admitted to East Sussex WRAS with a broken wing and a twisted beak (hence her full name of CrossBill). While under treatment she developed torticolis - a twisty head - from which she never fully recovered.

Bronts was admitted to East Sussex WRAS in 2016

Banjo was found lost when he was little more than a baby.

We try to prevent our resident pigeons from breeding but Leia and Donnie got one over on us and hatched out little Coop.

Phil was a regular visitor to a garden in Margate. The householders sought help when they noticed he wasn't able to fly but everyone they contacted said they'd put him down if his wing was damaged. We offered to take him in and give him sanctuary if needed.

Charles was stray and had been hanging round a pub in Kenley for months but couldn’t be caught…until someone kicked him!

Fizz was seen struggling to eat with obvious growths in his mouth

Daisy was lost on a race or test flight and was attacked, we think by a bird of prey

Parsley was originally admitted in April 2018 as a baby who was out of his nest a little too soon. We looked after him and released him that June at our soft release site. As usual, we ringed Parsley so we could monitor his progress and ensure he found his way back to us if he ever needed help again. In October 2018, he was affected by a virus which went round the flock at the release site.

Herbert was found injured in Bristol City Centre. It’s believed that he became impaled on some bird control spikes and damaged his wing trying to get free. He has come to us because local vets and rescues would only put him to sleep.

Polly had been hanging around a horse stables for some time and was a welcome and much loved visitor. Horribly, not everyone welcomed her though and some low life shot at her.

Penny was found unable to fly in Penge

Beau was originally taken to East Sussex WRAS with an injured eye. They asked us if we could provide him with a permanent home.

Donnie was found at the side of the road covered in blood

He was found in a park looking unwell
